  Speaker 1: All right, well this is going to be a weird one.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the After Show Podcast. My name is Justin.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Typically I would say Winnie would be here as well,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: but when he is not here, and it's been several
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: years since she hasn't been here to do this podcast
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with me. But I'm here and Billy Costa is here.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Is this my first podcast?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: This is? Oh, you idiot, You've been on a million
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: times now.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting next to you, Like, do I get an
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: entry song or something?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I can make one if you commit to doing, you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a regular appearance on the podcast.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: So we could be like the next Joe Rogan or something.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I think we're behind the ball on that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, But the thing is that, you know the after
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: show we're going to talk about all this stuff and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Winnie and everything. Yes, but the after show is done
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: typically every day after the show, and you're the busiest
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: guy I know, so you can't commit to doing it
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like a very large commitment.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: But if I were to continue the after show podcast,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: which I would want to even though I'm a little
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: bit upset, would you commit to maybe a couple of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: days a week.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, okay, absoluutely okay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Now, for our people that are listening, what's going to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: happen is this is going to come a day soon
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: where I'm gonna say the show's gonna end.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, Bill, can you jump in for the app?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I got TV, I gotta shoot at Capri, I gotta
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: shoot meet Boston, I gotta meet Michelle.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I got a gala. I can't get prepare.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: For instance, we don't have a podcast tomorrow.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Do we tomorrow? Yeah, Tomorrow's Thursday. Of course we do.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. Anyway, welcome in. Yeah, this is
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a weird one. This is definitely a weird after show podcast.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So this podcast was started back in twenty eighteen Billy
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Wow with.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Bes and I.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right, hey, Bex.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, remember they had that podcast Guy at iHeart iHeart
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: come in.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: They flew him in from California.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: They flew him in to talk about how important podcasting
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was and how we had to come up with an
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: original podcast and you know the best thing to do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: would be doing after show. So and I did it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and you would join sometimes sure, yeah, And then Beck's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: left and then Winnie came on, and then Whinnie became
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: my co host.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: We became co host together.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I would commit occasionally with you and Winnie.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Right, you almost got his band several times.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Oh really, Nobody spoke to me about that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, well we deal with that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: That's interesting you say that, because my biggest fear was
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: if I were to come in with you and Winnie somehow,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I would lose my job about something we said as
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a group.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Unless you said something super offensive. But it's not really
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: regulated by the FCC, like terrestrial radio is all. You know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you can swear fuck just like that. You can swear
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: fuck right, all right, now we're on, all right, so
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: let's get to it. So this has been really tough.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It's been really really tough. Billy went to Africa, right,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: This was planned a year in advance, and while Billy
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was in Africa, Mikey, Lisa and myself.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Were doing the show covering the show.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So on Tuesday, Billy was not here, the show ended
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and literally out of nowhere, we.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Were told the change was happening.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like out of knowing, and I still didn't know
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I was in Africa.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You had no idea.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It was actually a crazy story because I was on
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the phone with Billy after the show. So Billy's in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the bush talking to me about being in the bush,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and so he's going on and on, and I'm getting
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: ready to record the podcast.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: With with Whinny.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here and I'm getting annoyed because I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: had to go leave ready for this.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you remembered this.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I forgot.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I had to leave. Gandhi was in town
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for three hours in Boston. She came in on a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: boat from New York on an endorsement, so she was
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: going to be here, so I had to go meet her.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm talking to Billy. I'm looking at the clock.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I gotta record the podcast, So I'm like, where is Whinny.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm getting anoy it. So then I jump out of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: my studio on the phone with Billy. Billy's talking yucking
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it up with the Lions, Yeah, And I'm looking around
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and then I see an office door shut and I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: go over and I look in and I just see tears,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and I'm like my heart dropped. And I said to Billy,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I gotta go, and I hung up on Bill and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Bill starts panicking in Africa.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Now I'll give you my perspective. I'm standing in the bush,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm isolated, I'm in the middle of nowhere,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm talking. We're having a normal conversation, and then
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you started getting distracted and you were like, yeah, oh, no,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: hold on, no hold on, and then I gotta go
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and you hung up, and I'm there standing in the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: bush with the phone in my hand and nobody to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: talk to. And then I texted you. I said, dude,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you're killing me. What happened? And then the next thing
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you texted to me was, holy shit. Do you remember that?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I might.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I was like it was like
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: entering an outer body experience.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I still didn't know what holy shit meant.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what what to do. I could not
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: believe that it was happening and what would happened. What
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was happening was that the company that we worked for
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: made changes around the country, right, and so DJ Farne
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was affected here, as was Winnie. And you know, they
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: told us like these changes had to happen.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: They weren't.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: They didn't ask us, they didn't content and say like, hey,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is it okay? If it was like this has to happened.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: They didn't even wait till I got back from Africa.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Right, And this affected so many people across the country.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It is so terrible and so sad, and you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: there was really nothing that we could do. So our
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: hearts are broken. We're broken, are broken. All of a sudden,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: one of the people on the show gone, yeah, just
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: like that. So then it was a weird week because
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Billy was in Africa, so Mikey was covering Monday, Tuesday,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and Wednesday. He went away Thursday and Friday, so it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: was just going to be Lisa, Winnie and I. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: then with the change Mikey did Wednesday, we didn't know
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what to do. So we ran a best of Thursday
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and Friday. We were off Monday, so you had several
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: days of people being like, wait, what's going on? Yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was very the same.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Thing because you told me when I was in Africa.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He said, oh yeah, we're gonna do best jobs Thursday
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and Friday said what the hell? You said, Holy shit?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: What happened?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was. It was crazy. So the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: whole weekend we were off and we didn't know what
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to do. We didn't know what it was going to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: look like, what it was going to be. And basically,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, this is the way that I've learned. You've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: worked in this business a long time, is it works.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Is like people don't understand how we do feel upset
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that we do. We do have feelings too. And I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: said it on the air today and it's so true,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Like people tune in, they know what's going on, they've
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: seen Winnie's video, and then they tune in the hairs
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: laughing right, and they're like, look at these fucking monsters.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: But it's what we have to do. It's what we
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: do for a living. Right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We can't talk about it the entire show. We addressed
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it several times yesterday against a couple of times today.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: We kind of throw it in when we can in
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: different hours so everybody can hear it now.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You know, when he posted the video was super emotional.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I feel for her.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, you never want to see anybody lose
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: their job, never, never, never, never, And yeah, I don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: really know what to say. I don't I get the anger,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: but I don't.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Get directing it, directing it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: At us so much.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I get it, but you have to look at our
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: point of view and how we feel about it. Yes,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: we're upset, but like we work for a company, We
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: work on a show and they say, hey, we have
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to make this change and this is what the show
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is going to be.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And we're like, okay, yeah, you know, we don't have
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: any say no because the decision comes down from head quoters, correct,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: from somebody we've likely never even met, right right, this
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: is way above us. Yeah, and the other part of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the surprise. The running joke in this business is that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: if you get called into the office on a Friday,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you're screwed. Yeah, that didn't happen on a Friday, So
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: another reason that we didn't see it coming right on
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday. Holy shit.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I mean I was driving home like did this just happen?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Like what is going on? What are we going to do?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So, yes, we've talked to Winnie. I remember I called
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: her as soon as she left.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: She came in. She was crying. It was like, very emotional.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I said, I'll call you. I called her. I talked
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to her. She kind of you know, she wasn't crying
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: as much. She's just like this it is what it is,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you know. I don't know.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I'm scared. I said, it's gonna be okay. And here's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the good news. The good news is that she wasn't fired.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: No right, it sucks, but she was basically laid off,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so she's rehirable.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: She was told several times.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: She's rehirable anywhere in the country, anywhere, you know what
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, when that time comes. So it's just really sad, man.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: And I lost so many people listen to this after show,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and so many people are kind of coming at me,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: being like, on one side, God, you know, we feel
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: for you, justin like losing your partner essentially, and the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: other people are like, you fucking monster.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: How the fuck couldn't you save her, you know what
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I mean? And I'm like, man, I'm the little guy
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: in the totem pole.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and let me ask you this, Do you or
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: does anyone have any doubt that Winnie's gonna be fine? Oh?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I was talking to some listeners last night because I'll
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: respond to people that don't yell at me, you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: even the something that yell at me, I like, I'll
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: respond to. And I'm like, who loves money more than Winny?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: She is a hustler and she'll be okay, and you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: know what, she might get picked up somewhere else in Boston,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: possibly right here in town, right here in town. So
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think Winnie's just going to be just fine. But
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel I put myself in her shoes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Right. Think about it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You're on this show with these three other people that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you built this show with, and now all of a sudden,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you're sitting at home.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she started the show with us.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just really tough. She's been here for ten years.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: She said that in the video. She's been here for
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: ten years. So we just wanted to come on and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: explain kind of our side of the story. If you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: still have anger, I'm sorry, as am I, but there's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: three other people on this show, you know. So I
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: hate to be the one to say if the show
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: goes on, but like, think about what do we do?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Protest not show.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Up to work.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It's not going to get us anywhere.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: It's not going to get us anywhere, and it's not
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: going to help Winnie. The most important thing is that
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: we still love Winnie.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: We still we talk to Winnie this. Yeah, that's that's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: how it is. And Winnie, if you're listening to this,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: we love you and don't worry. Someone will pick up
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: your fire cracker ass in two seconds.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: She's probably already signed a deal.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can only imagine you know her. Yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: she'll be she'll be just fine.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So the after show, I wanted to continue, So maybe
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: maybe we could do something like rotating.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, you could have me, you could have Lisa, you
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: could have producer Riley.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So oh yeah, so I want to clear that up too,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: so producer Riley. So another thing that happened, Billy is
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the we post videos right last week, and so videos
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: were posted of Mikey and Lisa and me, and Riley
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was on the video not talking, but she was on
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the video because it would cut to her when maybe
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: when she'd move right. Producer Riley did not take Winnie's job,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: per se. Producer Riley is running the board and helping
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: me and doing producing things. She does not talk. You know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: maybe if she has something to say, we'll throw her on.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But she didn't fill you know that job. Prducer Riley's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: very low. She's I've been in her position. She's working
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: her way up. Yeah, that's what she's doing, So shout
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: out to her. She is a hard worker. She shows up,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: but she is not talking on the show. But yes,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll have producer Riley on. Who else could I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: have on from the building?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: From the building Ashley? Maybe like Ashley from Jamming.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm just trying to think.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: You have Ashley on, Santy on who's funnier than him?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Santy, Santy hired me.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and they're in the company.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, I stopped pulling salespeople in.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, I actually pulled the boss in Dylan.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: No he won't come on. No, no, he doesn't.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: You know, he was a job.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: He was on the air. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't come
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: on though. He explained it to me like this. He
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was on in the nineties, maybe early two thousands, he said,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: but he had to make a decision where he was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: going to do.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: One or the other. Yeah, on the air, off the air,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: and he chose off the air.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: All Right, we got a lot of people in the building, so.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And I can't guarantee a five day podcast. That's what
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Winnie and I were so good at that, Winnie especially,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you know why, because if we did five days a bonus, there's.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: A bonus whinny.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Driven by the bonus.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's driven by the bonus.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Hopefully she will get that bonus too, because you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: even though she was let go, she did work.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: What month are we in ten?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So we got to work on that. She's got to
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: get her bonus.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure. Don't don't worry. She'll be knocking down
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: my door for that. And if she doesn't get it,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: she'll be knocking down your bill right now. Oh yeah,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: there she is. But anyway, thank you everybody for listening,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and thank you for understanding. And if you're angry, it's okay.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
